<p>I wouldn't call it that either (it'd be degrading for C ;)), but C++ does inherit from C (and was a layer on top of C in its early days, IIRC with a sort of preprocessor).</p>
<p>In fact, Mr Stroustrup does say basically the same thing:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="text" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);">Except for a few examples [...], C++ is a superset of C.</pre></div></div>

<p>Well, what matters to me is that C++ itself is not a strict(!) superset :) But actually this is also not that relevant here, as the actual problem is this: the shared-mime-info meaning of inherits is "is-a". E.g,</p>
<p>C inherits PlainText inherits Octetstream -> C is-a PlainText is-a Octetsteam. So e.g. any handlers (like viewers) of a given format can also handle files of a format that inherits from it.</p>
<p>C++ inherits C, as currently claimed in s-m-i, woule mean: C++ is-a C. Which would mean C++ is a subset of C. Which is the reverse of what we have talked about above, no? :)</p>

<p>No, still trying variants, being unhappy with code amount.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D15532">https://phabricator.kde.org/D15532</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, KDevelop, kossebau, kfunk<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>aaronpuchert, kfunk, pino, kossebau, kdevelop-devel, glebaccon, antismap, iodelay, vbspam, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowd<br /></div>
